The problem is the client 🤣

They must have something to hide 🤨

Connect it to your PC or laptop and do a netinstall. Configure SSHD and a static ip. Plugin the disk to your server and then connect via ssh to admin it.

You could also set your laptop or PC to boot from the attached disk in the bios to test the services you want to start are starting

Happy to help 😉

Syncthing can do direct sync if you give the ip address to each node and you can disable relay servers .

Imagine paying for an OS to have ads in it. 🐃💩

Thankfully we have Linux/BSD

It doesn’t matter that you can disable it, this stuff shouldn’t be in the OS in the first place

Running a middle relay for years with no issues.

Yeah this is a much better approach

TPS reports 🙄

You could just poll it every few minutes via a cronjob and only send a notification if the numbers have increased.

Personally I use miniflux too in docker but I dont have a need for notifications.

Could you just poll the miniflux db directly ?

On laptops yes, on my server no. Most of the data is photo backups and linux ISOs form over the years.

Btop and logwatch with logrotate. I use healthchecks to check if the server is unreachable and it notifies me.

We should make a site and track all of the people involved with these companies. Cunts

You do what you can and as much as you can live with/without and you get on with your life.

I use foss exclusively where possible but sure there are binary blobs, I have to sumbit my Id to banks and various government institutions etc. I also use WhatsApp in addition to signal because I need it for family.

Signal, linux, Firefox with ublock / no script, a VPN or Tor and using a password manager like keepass xc and 2FA app like free OTP+ will go a lot further in the long run than becoming hyperparanoid and shutting yourself off from the world. No need for 7 layers of encryption and thermite trip switches 😄

Just keep a low profile and dont sign up for lots of bs services with real info. Just be a Gray man / woman and blend in.

Life is what you make it and it is short

It’s time to break free from Corporate.

I refuse to use discord.

My block list is very small actually due to the non standard ssh port. Everything else goes through wireguard.

If it was open to the public then yes I’d have to reconsider the ban length.

You could not connect the TV and printer to the network but instead attach them to raspberry Pi or similar devices. This allows you full control and stops them calling home and spying.
